we asked kelly about john boehner's speakership. the vote is tomorrow for him to be speaker of the 113th congress. it doesn't seem like there's anything emerging. i'm a little baffled, not because i think he should be ousted, but you've seen this level of resistance, where he was cut out of the final negotiations. >> i think it's like kelly said, they're happy with the fight that he waged and they're okay allowing him to see the light at the end of the tunnel, be able to make the call whenever he wants to decide to lead and end his career, whenever that will be. and i think people like cantor and mccarthy, who are of that young gun, younger group, it's not a split with boehner, it's a split on how they decided to vote, but they know where the political clout is and that's with those conservatives. john boehner doesn't necessarily need to be there. he's someone who would be more of a pragmatist and would get something done. he is a pragmatist, but not able to have the flexibility and the white house knew that. >> let's talk about tha
